With the Snowpocalypse shutting down the city (and law school!) for the third day running, I was stuck in my apartment with nothing to do. The snow-covered trees and buildings outside reminded me of frosting, and I just happened to have sugar, flour, butter and cream cheese, so . . . obviously I had to make Monkey Bread! This was my first time working with yeast — usually I make this recipe with Pillsbury biscuit dough. But I happened to have some packets of dry active yeast in my cabinets and way too much time on my hands, so I was feeling pretty ambitious. Monkey bread from scratch, baby! Isn’t it amazing how just a little warm water, yeast, sugar and flour can come together...
